If beauty comes in many forms, that’s epitomised at Lokhandwala. Not only is it a treasure trove of delicious Indian tapas – which are washed down with unlimited prosecco or their cocktail Star of India – but also the interiors are a unique blend of colonial British architecture. If you’re looking for the best restaurants to Instagram in London, this shabby-chic paradise might just be it.

The Barge House is a laidback hotspot in Haggerston ready to cater for your cute brunch in London needs.

Get your cameras ready and prepare yourself for a bottomless brunch surrounded by natural beauty.

Don’t settle for small brunches – big ones get the likes on Insta just as much. Head to Kilburn Ironworks and you can enjoy big plates of Full English, Traditional Lebanese and hearty breakfast burgers, all while sitting in an ultra-cool, industrial chic restaurant.

Meanwhile, you can feast on a menu of updated Victorian food to make the most adorably quaint brunch around.

The Sipping Room is another great feather to the Drake & Morgan hat and while the inside fits more to a traditional city bar aesthetic, it’s their physical position that makes it a pretty brunch in London.

Mabel’s might just be the cutest place in London to eat brunch. Alongside bold colours, hanging chandeliers and antique flourishes, eating here is like being whisked back in time to a country manor.

Want the beauty of sitting outside even in the winter months? Welcome to Dalloway Terrace, which utilises an ‘indoor-outdoor’ approach so that it is ideally alfresco in spring and summer, but covered and heated during the winter. The terrace itself is a beautiful haven of climbing plants and dainty bright furniture, making it the ideal pretty brunch spot in London to eat equally as fresh food.

While the inside of Coppa Club is pretty in itself, the outside is where they really shine. As well as a spectacular view of Tower Bridge and the Thames, they also protect you from the elements with their very own pop-up spaces, such as igloos in the winter and cabanas in the summer. This makes it ideal for a beautiful London brunch of tasty European food.

Fans of rich mahogany, marbled pillars and gorgeous, velvet armchairs are in for a treat at this beautiful place to eat brunch in London.
